Craig Walton said Trinity Islands residents collected
$79,000 to have Anderson Construction pave last year but the
project fell- through. He asked to have driveway approaches
added into the estimated costs.
Manager Carlson said the Trinity Islands paving was a
straight forward project and could contain bid alternatives.
Scott Arndt said the Service Area No. 1 Board voted on the
lot value assessment to determine the cost to each owner.
He said they also discussed ten foot driveway approaches
because gravel deteriorates asphalt.
In response to David Horne, Manager Carlson said the cost
was based on the lot assessment only.
In response to Assemblymember Wells, Clerk Nielsen said the
petition was signed by the owners of more than one -half in
value of the property to be benefited by the improvement.
Mayor LeDoux closed the public hearing.

B. Proposed Woodland Acres Paving District.
HEINRICHS, moved to direct the Manager
seconded by ABELL to prepare a resolution to
determine whether to
proceed with the proposed
improvement.
Manager Carlson said this was the same process as the
Trinity Islands paving project. He said the areas being
subdivided would be incorporated into the resolution.
Mayor LeDoux opened the public hearing.
In response to Mike Nugent, Manager Carlson said the
estimated cost was $850,000 and the State STIP program would
not contribute.
Andy Nault was in favor of the paving project. At his
question, Manager Carlson said the $850,000 did not include
driveway approaches and that combining this project with the
Trinity Islands project was not feasible.
Robert Johnson felt it would be difficult to afford the
cost.
on Lawhead was in favor of the project but wanted ten -foot
driveway approaches included in the resolution.
Michelle Powell felt the project was too expensive.
In response to Ms. Powell, Manager Carlson said the area of
paving was consistent with the Woodland Acres Streetlight

Service Area. He said the engineer's estimate would come
from a bid process and that adding driveway approaches would
be costly.
Ed Coe was not opposed to the dollar amount. He urged the
Assembly to address the issues of drainage and streetlights.
James Pickett was in favor of the paving project starting
this year.
Scott Arndt said formal plans would be needed for the
drainage issues in Woodland Acres, but Trinity Islands posed
no problem and would probably be started first.
Kiela Pickett phoned in support of the project.
Deborah Merriman was concerned that the bid may be higher
than anticipated.
In response to Assemblymember Stevens, Manager Carlson said
Service Area No. 1 Board was responsible for the maintenance
of the Woodland Acres drainage.
Assemblymember Stevens outlined that there were two more
steps; going out for bid, and the bid itself.
In response to Assemblymember Heinrichs, Manager Carlson
said the resolution would outline the bid process and the
different options.
The Assembly generally wanted to hold a public hearing on
the resolution.
Mayor LeDoux closed the public hearing.
